exactly. keeping/bring back these guys around for sentimental reasons isnt gonna make this team a contender

Kaboly is the worst of the beat writers. The Ian Rappaport of the local guys, if you will. The same guy who reported that Max Starks would certainly not resign with the Steelers, only to delete his report when he was proven wrong. The same guy that had Plaxico returning the Steelers, only to see him sign with the Jets.

You're not bringing him back for 'sentimental reasons'. You're bringing him back for a year in order to teach a few of the young guys on the roster how to prepare for an NFL season/game. At the vet minimum, it would be worth it given how much JJ and Co need to improve.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans were disappointed when longtime defensive standout James Harrison was released last offseason as a casualty of the salary cap. Things were made even worse when he signed with AFC North rival Cincinnati. So what do they make of the news that Harrison would be interested in rejoining the Steelers?

After a mediocre year across the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, Harrison was released again this offseason because of salary cap concerns. And when asked recently if he would be open to a Pittsburgh return, his answer made it very clear.

“Everybody knows that” Harrison said during an appearance on NFL Total Access. “I’ve got two rings and I’ve got a lot of relationships, teammates, former teammates that are still good friends.”

The Steelers are very thin at outside linebacker behind Jason Worilds and last year’s first-round selection, Jarvis Jones, so would they be willing to add Harrison as depth and a situational pass rusher?

He clearly has showed signs of slowing down from when he was one of the most dynamic and intimidating pass rushers in the league. In fact, he could be on his last legs. If so, the Steelers may be interested only if the deal is worth the veteran minimum.
